1064 booksIn this New York Times bestselling memoir, Nic Sheff tells a raw, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful tale of the road from relapse to recovery.
As a child, Nic Sheff was drunk for the first time at eleven years old. In the years that followed, he would regularly smoke pot and do cocaine and Ecstasy. Even so, he felt like he would always be able to quit and put his life together whenever he needed to.
It took a violent relapse one summer in California to convince him otherwise. In a voice that is raw and honest, Nic spares no detail in telling us the compelling, heartbreaking story of his relapse and the road to recovery. As we watch Nic plunge into the mental and physical depths of drug addiction, he paints a picture for us of a person at odds with his past."
